POYET: "Brighton are ready for the Premier League, and I’d love my old team to get there."

Gus Poyet gives the lowdown on former club Brighton, the reasons for his departure and his hopes for the future at the Amex Stadium.
.My old team Brighton & Hove Albion are flying at the top of the Championship and had a great win at Leeds, where I was once assistant manager, at the weekend.
Brighton have the support, stadium and infrastructure to be in the Premier League and I’m pleased for them.
Chris Hughton is a very good coach as I saw first hand when I played at Spurs and he coached under Glenn Hoddle. We didn’t agree all the time, but we both wanted what was best for Spurs. Chris knows the Championship level from when he got Newcastle promoted and that experience is good for him at Brighton.
As often happens when you move jobs, I can’t pretend that all ended well between Brighton and me. I was in charge there for four years and as it was my first job in football it will always have a special place in my heart, right from when we beat Southampton away in our first game.
I smile at some great memories, even if some of them got me into trouble. Like when I grabbed the microphone on Brighton sea front to celebrate our promotion from League One and echoed what our fans had been singing. Which was ‘We’re f**king brilliant! We’re f**king brilliant!’
